Oh hey L.

After getting tired of K this one is good and fun, if not simple. Plus it fixed the Partner System K introduced.

Also did one of the weirder things in SRW games. There are no Mech Parts in this game, the Squad Bonuses take the place of those.

Okay, real talk: I get what they were going for and the concept behind it is interesting on paper...but the problem is that what I see as a viewer is basically Athrun transparently cosplaying as Quattro and thus I end up focusing less on the legitimate reasons and interesting character ideas behind it and instead I go "lol, look at the lame zeta gundum reference."
Well, the original basic concept of Destiny was a reimagining of Zeta Gundam in the same way that SEED is a reimagining of the original Mobile Suit Gundam.

I can't help but see Kouichi as "Psychotic Kira Yamato" for some reason.

Also Wufei is basically a Linebarrels character in this game.

Pretty much every SRW assumes some familiarity to at least some series in its roster. If it's not a premiere or a older series that's being given major focus then expect the cliff notes version of the introduction.

Yes like Jeeg we're starting mid-series for Goddanar. Both shows were also in the last game K and had their full plots done.

L's A.I is incredibly predictable and thus very exploitable.

Namely, unless it's a boss with Plot based targeting, an enemy will always target the unit with the highest HP within range.

Yeah Psychotic Kira Yamato is a very apt discription. :psyduck:

Seriously, I really liked Lady Une out-politicking Djibril. If only Treize was still around to run circles around him...

To be fair, a 12 year old on cocaine could out-politic Lord GerbilDjibril.

Djibril would not be Djibril if he did not have a level of evil only matched by his level of idiocy

It's so funny to me that SRW L seems to be post-Endless Waltz, because your first exposure to Une is her working to corral all the heroic groups into LOTUS. The first noteworthy thing Une does in Wing is kidnap a General, trick him into recording a propaganda piece for Treize, then kick him out of a plane and shoot him in the head. In that order.

It's a perfect example of Wing Logic.
